This full-scale remodel transformed a dated traditional home into an elegant, modernized retreat. The project involved reimagining every room—from the formal living spaces to the kitchen, bathrooms, and private suites—blending classic design elements with luxurious modern amenities. High-end finishes, custom millwork, and thoughtfully curated materials were used throughout to elevate and further develop the home’s character. The kitchen now features elegant lines, marble countertops, and luxury appliances, designed for both beauty and functionality. Bathrooms were reconfigured for spa-like comfort, with features such , focal tiling, and freestanding tubs. Additional hardwood flooring connects to original, and designer lighting create continuity and sophistication across the spaces. We also enhanced flow and openness by selectively removing and combining islands, and expanding key areas to accommodate contemporary living without sacrificing traditional elegance. From concept to completion, this project exemplifies USI's design-build approach—seamlessly integrating architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship to deliver a cohesive, upscale home tailored to modern lifestyles.

The "California Red" was built as a secondary dwelling on the family property. Designed by Award winning design company BAAHOUSE. BAAHOUSE was lucky enough to work with clients that wanted a small 2nd dwelling on their property but appreciated design and quality. The BAAHOUSE design that the clients were interested in was the California Red design (Named after a sheep). The house was 60sqm in size with open plan living. It incorporated 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a large open planned kitchen/ lounged areas that flowed out onto large decks surrounding the house which the clients could enjoy during the summer Sydney months Outside sees dark cladding and hardwood detailing blend into the native Australian garden and tie in with the existing home on the property. Hardwood decks extend living areas afforded by large sliding doors. Batten screens offer privacy between both decks and neighbours. High level screening and awnings deflect the suns rays while letting in light to the home. Continuing inside, high raked ceilings enhance the sense of space, with louvre windows that allow for excellent cross ventilation and heat control. Matt finishes provide a soft look to the material palette of light ply, fixtures and fittings, hardwood floors and timber detailing. BAAHOUSE is helping to define a new ethos of secondary dwellings through carefully considered planning and design.

A beautiful modern yet simplistic master bathroom design per our clients specifications. The light grey floor tile created a calm and soothing atmosphere. The floor tile seamlessly flows into an open shower, creating a sense of continuity and a spacious feel. The open shower adorned with three-dimensional wall tiles added depth and texture to the space. A chrome shower rain head and shower wand were chosen to produce a luxurious and refreshing shower experience. To enhance the visual appeal of the shower, a linear shower drain design was incorporated, giving the illusion of water draining into the wall. This sleek and sharp design element added a contemporary touch to the bathroom. Completing the master bathroom, a double floating vanity was installed to maintain a clean and minimalist aesthetic. Additionally, a wall-mounted lavatory was used to further emphasize the modern and streamlined design of the bathroom.

This contemporary staircase serves as a striking focal point in the home's sun-filled entryway. Black mono-beam stringers support thick natural-stained oak treads, creating a bold structural framework. The absence of risers maintains complete openness, allowing natural light from the surrounding private forest to flow freely through the space. Glass panel railings echo the foyer's numerous windows, maintaining visual continuity throughout, while the black metal cap rail reinforces the industrial aesthetic of the stringers. Together, these elements create an anchoring stair system that enhances the contemporary home's connection to light and landscape. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The Impressive Studio City Mid-Century Exterior Masterpiece was a comprehensive interior and exterior remodel, revitalizing a dated property into a stunning modern sanctuary. The homeowners sought to blend mid-century design with a contemporary twist, emphasizing clean lines, natural materials, and expansive views. We transformed the exterior with a sleek wood-paneled entrance, smooth stucco walls, and minimalist landscaping, creating an inviting curb appeal that reflects the home's architectural roots. Large, custom glass doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, bathing the interior in natural light and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Studio City landscape. Inside, we continued the mid-century theme by selecting warm wood flooring, an open-concept layout, and modern fixtures that merge style with comfort. The homeowners wanted a space that felt sophisticated yet warm, and our team worked closely with them throughout the project to ensure every detail met their vision. As a Studio City-based company, we took pride in sourcing local materials and embracing the area's aesthetic. This remodel has resulted in a mid-century masterpiece that not only enhances the home’s functionality but also stands as a true statement piece in the neighborhood.
